Recently had my one year Surgerversary! Hw 328 SW 304 cw 183 went from a size 28 to a 12/14. I am feeling great, I got a shorter hair cut cause my hair is finally growing back and not falling out anymore and I have so much energy back!

Gettin to cross my legs like a lady, comfortably!

Congrats! Also I'm so jealous about your trip and meeting NPH!

Wait your dr wants you to just jump to meds? Depression meds? That's a pretty huge step there, not sure if it's the hormones that he's focusing on or just the rate of people coming out of this surgery that he sees go that way. But that's a bit of a bold comment to make to someone. Also I stepped on the scale today and I'm officially in onederland! 199.2! I'm 54lbs away from my personal goal of 145, and my dr wants me at 177 at my one year, so I'm not so far off. I have 4 months to lose 22lbs, and if I start working out it shouldn't be that hard I really am with you on the false advertisement ordeal. I get into clothes and I'm like wow I love my curves and take my clothes off and I'm like no no no no that is not how a body is supposed to look. But I have to tell myself my body is doing hella good because I lost over a HUNDRED POUNDS and it's not a complete saggy mess, just not as toned as I'd like it. So I think we should be thankful that the weight is coming off and focus on toning and trying to get out lives and bodies back one day at a time. This process isn't perfect but we are lucky to have wonderful guys in our lives to make it so we feel beautiful even if we don't see it

Thank you!

Congrats on your pregnancy! Hopefully you don't have to worry about anything and there won't be any complications

Hey! I can't believe it's been 8 months already. Doesn't seem possible. I've lost 127 since my highest weight, 104 since surgery, and right now I'm hanging out at 200.2 lbs and am waiting patiently to hit onederland When I look in the mirror it constantly changes. My eyes can't adjust to the loss so some days I see my new self and I'm so confident and happy. Other days I don't see the change and I stop looking in the mirror for a few days lol. I feel like I'm failing because I'm not eating as strict as I should be and I really need to start working out but I work and go to school and have a family so I hardly have time to myself to start with let alone even think about working out. But I need to just jump into it and make the time. Hope everyone else is doing good!

I think this is why the doctors encourage us to see a therapist post op. We won't see the direct changes right away and feel no different than before. I think I look great with clothes on. Off? Not so much. But my fiancé says I look great in and out of them. I guess we're just very self conscious and super critical of our bodies and what they "should" look like versus what they actually look like. I take it one day at a time. Some days I see the change and I'm thrilled, others I look in the mirror and say I don't see any change. But I know the 127lbs is what changed and have to push myself to be happy with my body. I am .2 lbs away from onederland and it has been taunting me for a couple weeks now lol

Whelp just checking in to see how everyone's doing! I am hovering around the 201 area and can't wait to hit onederland

Feel so much better! 327-211 Yay!

I had to have my surgery pushed back to August but just wanted to share with someone and do a happy dance for getting down to 215 from 327

Hit 215 today. Almost to onederland!

I do the same thing! I manage to get them up and I'm like what?! No way lol And dance like a raccoon on crack for about 5 minutes and then look around to see if anyone is looking at me like I'm crazy lol I'm down to a 18 from a 28 and fit in a 16 but not comfortably yet to go in public with them yet lol It is up there with best feelings in the world. Love that I went through with the surgery!

So I've been on the scale lately and just documenting my weight and going on about my day. I hit 218 yesterday and losing weight has finally clicked in. I'm so close to onederland and I haven't been this weight since entering high school. It is so surreal! I have 73 pounds to my personal goal of 145 but I just thought it would be a fantasy because I didn't think I'd see the 100s ever again! Feeling so blessed and happy today!

I got into a size 16 today! I haven't been here in 8 years! Crazy feeling!

Ok I have to share with everyone cause I'm so excited and happy!! Today I am down 100 pounds since my highest weight!.... And also yesterday my boyfriend proposed! I am so beyond happy!!!

Went to the Fall Out Boy concert tonight and was able to buy And fit into a XL hoodie! Concert attire that isn't just a mens 3-x!! Yay!

I have news! Collar bones are real! I can actually feel and see mine again 36 pounds away from onederland. HW 327 SW 304 CW 235 SD 8/5/13

That is probably the only time I will ever hear someone happy about being overweight lol Congrats on your loss!

Wow everyone's looking great! Left is Christmas 2012 right is November 2013

From Christmas 2012 to now. Over 80 pounds gone and 60 since surgery! I feel the difference!

I've lost 56 now since surgery and I'm 13 weeks out. I haven't seen my dr in a while but I think were all around the same give or take a few pounds. I hope that's not too fast! Also, it feels really weird to say that lol

Don't be discouraged! I'm about the same as you and I feel pretty awesome about it

Fantastic progress! You look so happy now!

Down 50 pounds as of today! Yay!!!!!!
